But lately she's also dreamed at night of a passionate affair with a handsome World War II naval officer named Gregory Prescott, who seems oddly familiar.</P> <P style="WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: small verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ORPHANS: 2; WIDOWS: 2; LETTER-SPACING: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px">Fantasy becomes reality when Devin dons a mysterious estate-sale coat and is suddenly whisked back in time—to New York City in 1945 on V-J Day, where she's welcoming Gregory home with open arms and ruby-red kisses….

I hope the sun is shining where you are, too. <br /><br />My next Harlequin KISS book doesn't come out until September. The title had been WHAT HAPPENS IN GREECE, but I recently learned it has been changed to GREEK FOR BEGINNERS.&nbsp; As you can guess, it takes place in Greece. <br /><br />In the meantime, I'm busy working on another book for Harlequin's KISS line and some other projects. <br /><br />MUST LIKE KIDS is off store shelves, but still available online. <br /><br />Jackie Braunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00487819219116999065noreply@blogger.com0
